Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I book with ScalesPawsNClaws?

I know how much your pets mean to you because I feel the same way about animals. When you trust me with their care, I'll treat them like part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.

What kinds of pets do you care for?

I care for all kinds of pets! From playful dogs and cuddly cats to birds, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small or exotic pets, I'm happy to help. If you have a pet that's a little more unique, just ask—I'd love to meet them!

Do you care for senior pets?

Absolutely! Senior pets deserve a little extra love and patience. Whether they need medication, slower walks, extra potty breaks, or just a little more comfort and companionship, I'm happy to give them the gentle care they need.

Will my pet get individual attention?

Always! Every pet is different, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all care. Some pets want to play nonstop, while others just want someone to sit with them. I take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they get the attention they enjoy most.

Can you follow my pet's normal routine?

Of course! I know how important routines are, especially when you're away. I'll stick to your pet's schedule for meals, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Will I get updates while I'm away?

Yes! I love sharing updates with pet parents. I'll send pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering how they're doing.

My pet is nervous around new people. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Every pet warms up differently, and I never rush the process. I'll let your pet set the pace and earn their trust with patience, kindness, and lots of positive attention.

What happens if there's an emergency?

Your pet's safety is always my top priority. If something unexpected happens, I'll contact you right away and follow the emergency plan we've discussed. If veterinary care is needed, I'll make sure your pet gets help as quickly as possible.

Do you offer meet-and-greets?

Yes! I offer a free meet-and-greet before your first booking. It's a great chance for us to meet, go over your pet's routine, answer any questions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me before care begins.

What makes ScalesPawsNClaws different?

I started ScalesPawsNClaws because I genuinely love caring for animals. This isn't just a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. I take the time to build a relationship with every pet, learn what makes them feel safe, and care for them like they're my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were loved every step of the way.

What's your mission?

"For every paw, scale, and claw: comfort, care, and love for all."

That saying means everything to me. It's the promise behind every visit, every cuddle, every walk, and every check-in. No matter what kind of pet you have, I'll always care for them with patience, compassion, and plenty of love—because every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and cherished.
